AL-KAFI #562: TAKUT HENDAK MEMBACA AL-QURAN
Should people who are not fluent in recitation and weak in tajwid be afraid to read the Quran, and what is the ruling on learning tajwid?
Short answer
Reading the Quran is a recommended act, but anyone who wishes to read it must learn tajwid and the articulation points of letters so as to avoid errors that change the wording and meaning.

Summary
Reading the Quran is a recommended act, but anyone who wishes to read it must learn tajwid and the articulation points of letters so as to avoid errors that change the wording and meaning. Those who are not yet proficient are encouraged to find a competent teacher. They should not abandon recitation altogether because of a lack of skill, since a sound hadith states that one who recites haltingly and with difficulty receives two rewards.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Secara mudahnya kita katakan di sini bahawa bagi sesiapa yang ingin membaca al-Quran, maka wajib keatasnya untuk mempelajari ilmu tajwid.
